HAIR-DRIER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 763,717, dated June 28, 1904.

Application filed December 8, 1903. Serial No. 184,304. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, DANIEL J. BUCKLEY, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newburyport, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented new and useful Improvements in Hair-Driers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to new and useful improvements in 'hair-driers; and its object is to provide a simple and compact device of this character which may be readily manipulated and which will thoroughly and quickly dry the hair.

The invention consists in providing a portable hood to which is' detachably secured a burner, and extending from the hood is an outlet-tube having a detachable perforated cap for directing heated air in a desired direction.

The invention also consists in the further novel construction and combination of parts hereinafter more fully described and claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, showing the preferred form of my invention, and in which Figure 1 is a perspective View of the de detachably secured in the top thereof for the reception of a wick 9. A. tubular extension 10 is formed with the upper end of the hood 1, and this extension is adapted to project into the lower end of a tube 11, while the other end of said tube receives the reduced end 12 of the tube 11, and this cap is detachably secured within said tube and can be readily rotated to any desired angle in relation thereto. A handle 15 is provided upon the hood 1, whereby the same can be readily manipulated.

In using the device herein described the receptacle 7 is first filled with alcohol or other combustible fluid, and the wick 9 is then lighted. The reduced end of the receptacle is subsequently inserted into the lower end of the hood 1 and the pins 4 moved into position within the slots 3. Air will enter the apertures 2 and be heated by the flame and will then pass upward through thetube 11 and cap 13 and be discharged through the apertures 14. The hair to be dried is adapted to be placed over cap 13, and the air escaping through the apertures will come in contact therewith and quickly drive the moisture therefrom. It will be seen that the device is very simple, durable, and inexpensive in construction and can be readily manipulated. It is very compact in form and can be suitably ornamented to produce an attractive toilet article.

In the foregoing description I have shown the preferred form of my invention; but I do not limit myself thereto, as I am aware that modifications may be made therein without departing from the spirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof, and I therefore reserve the right to make such changes as fairly fall within the scope of my invention.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new is 1. In a hair-drier, the combination with a hood having air-inlets, an outlet, and a handle upon the hood; of a lamp adapted-to project into the hood, means for locking the lamp within the hood, a, tube extending from the outlet, and a curved cap adjustably and detachably secured to the tube and extending at an angle therefrom, said cap having an aperture therein.

2. In a hair-drier, the combination with a hood having air-inlets and an outlet, and a handle upon the hood; of a lamp, locking- Intestirnony whereofIafiix my signature in pins pfi'ojecting thlerefi'onll1 anal da ited t0 sgpresence of two witnesses.
